Milton Hill Bowls Club is a mixed club, with a total
of some 50 members; playing in the Kennet Leagues, the Ladies Ridgeway league
and the Ashley Baker mixed triples league. Plus a number of friendly games
(mens, ladies and mixed) are included in our annual programme of events.
We have an excellent All-Weather Green, so that we can also play
throughout the winter.
We invite members from other Clubs to join us for the Winter Bowls season as
Associate Members. (See Forthcoming events for more information)

Bowls
are made from Melamine resin which is resistant to temperature and/or
humidity changes. The resin granules are weighed, heated with high freq
radio waves until they become a soft malleable consistency. They are
then placed in a moulding press. A computer controlled machine then
carves the profile and the grips are machined in. The rings and emblems
are also machined in and then painted. The bowl is then buffed up to a
high polish.The next stage is to test them against a world master bowl
to check
they are a matched set. This is done by rolling them down a ramp to the
same set position as the master bowl. All four bowls must end up in the
same position on the Mat to form a matched set.
